The purpose of this thesis is to examine the development of the character of Lara Croft by analysing her dialogue with four other characters in the video game Tomb Raider, from 2013. The four other characters are Conrad Roth, Samantha “Sam” Nishimura, Alex Weiss and Dr James Whitman. In analysing the dialogue, content analysis was used in order to discover common themes in Lara Croft’s relationships with the other characters. The themes found in the dialogue are strength, trust, affection, guilt and acceptance. These themes appear differently in her relationships, each of which revealing a different aspect of her development. The analysis of the dialogue shows Lara Croft’s development as a character as she grows from an inexperienced adventurer into a strong but withdrawn survivor.
